i've always loved being able to bike around waterloo because it made everything so much faster. wanna go buy groceries? 10min. !bam! = Sobeys. mall? 15min. !bam! = Conestoga. downtown? 10min. !bam! so imagine my dismay when i walked out the back door of my building promptly @ 1130 this morning to hop on my bike so i could take the 5min. ride to school n go for a swim and...o_O??!!? it wasn't there??! doh! at first i thought it was prbbly at school, since i sometimes just leave it there and walk home (since i'm so close now). so i walk to school, check out the spots where i usually lock it up...nope. doh! uyy...i'd always thought of my 2-wheeled transportation as my livelihood here...and now it was gone. argh...so i still went for my swim, n walked home. well, on the bright side of things, at least it's the end of the term & i wouldn't have used it that much longer anyway. walking's better exercise than just cruising on a bike, and i got to just slow everything down a bit as i went for a random walk through Uptown waterloo. you get more time to observe things when ur not riding by so fast i guess.
went to the new L&M (formerly Carpenter's Music shop) n got to try out the Warlock:
looks crazy, sounds crazy, but w/ the right amp u can still make it sound clean & play some mellow tunes, i was lovin' it! i think i'm gonna hafta get me one 'o these babies!
as i was cuttin' through waterloo park on the way home for dinner, i realized i was in the middle of a playing field. memories of cold n wet rugby practices came to mind as i plodded along; watching muddy-brown water well up around my shoe with each step i took through the soggy grass. aah rugby...i guess i sorta miss hitting people, u know? like slamming into them, or bringing 'em down hard so that they get the wind knocked out of 'em? and sometimes they lie there and can't move for a few seconds, or maybe even cry?? >=] muahahaha... whoops, i think that's the Warlock talkin...lol
the Nipple walks... - Thursday, December 9 2004
uy...just got home after walking around waterloo for 3.5hrs. went to the gym in the morning, then to SLC where i studied for a grand total of 30min. before giving in to my stomache and taking an extended lunch. hobbled on over to dollarama via that beaten path i used to bike through everyday in 1st year, got some packing tape for the boxes of junk i'll be shipping home, then ambled along north to Chapters/Starbucks, looked to see if i could find ne good deals @ National Sport Depot (couldn't), then sauntered back south along King until i felt like some congee, n decided it was time to visit China Garden & have a nice big bowl of "juk" for dinner. guess it's a good thing i'm doin' all this walking, since i've gotten lazy n stopped doing cardio/running @ the gym. good thing i got my music to keep me company while walking too, otherwise i'd be bored to death. u ppl sick of studying? go for a walk...n i don't mean no lil stroll down the block, go for a real walk. go somewhere until you get lost, and then try finding your way back. do it. just make sure u pack some snacks along for the journey. =P
